Famous quotes containing the words anne and/or ridler:
“I have defeated them all.... I was left with some money to battle with the world when quite young, and at the present time have much to feel proud of.... The Lord gave me talent, and I know I have done good with it.... For my brains have made me quite independent and without the help of any man.”

It compels humility: what we began
Is now its own.”
